AI Generated Solution

To determine the suitability of two copper cables for carrying alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC), we need to analyze their resistance and surface area characteristics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information**: - Cable 1: A single wire with cross-sectional area \( A \) and length \( L \). - Cable 2: Ten wires, each with cross-sectional area \( \frac{A}{10} \) and length \( L \). ...
